A Grand Duchess in Russia, for example, was fully the equivalent of a Crown Princess. A famous example is Anastasia of Russia. In some countries, a Grand Duchess was as high as the royal nobility could go- like Luxembourg and she was in effect Head of State, but only ( highness) and not Majesty. Luxembourg is the only surviving Grand duchy in Europe where the head ruler is of Grand ducal rank. Monaco is a principality and hence has princes and princesses, not Grand Duchesses. The United Kingdom uses the nobiliary title of Duchess- (For example the Duchess of York) but not Grand Duchess. at no time was a major territory (in modern times) the domain of a Grand duke or Duchess, as was the case with Russia. The Austrians had the paralell rank of Archduchess which has a religious sound- some were joint princesses-abesses and wore a combination of royal-noble robes and religious regalia such as the Bishop"s Crozier. this title has become obsolete- but was for a time a Duchess-or Princess-Bishop or more accurately abbess, or a head sister of large convent . the convent of the Noble Ladies was in Prague- now under Czech rule. so there were different degrees and grades of Duchess- and Grand Duchess.-G.D. is usually analogous to a Crown Princess, or Czarevna to use the Russian term of Crown princesses of the blood-There were four: Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia!
